Allister is an American pop punk band from Chicago, Illinois. The four-piece formed in 1994 and were one of the first bands to sign to Drive-Thru Records. Besides releasing five studio albums – 1999's Dead Ends and Girlfriends, 2002's Last Stop Suburbia, 2005's Before the Blackout, 2010's Countdown to Nowhere, and 2012's "Life Behind Machines — Allister made a cameo appearance in the 2004 film Sleepover. On March 6, 2007, the band announced their intention to go on hiatus. In 2010, Allister reunited after a three-year break, and have been touring and recording since.
Allister was formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1994 under their original name Phineas Gage by James B. Conant High School classmates Tim Rogner (vocals, drums) and John "Johnny" Hamada (guitar, vocals), with Eric "Skippy" Mueller (bass) joining in 1996. The following year, they changed their name to Allister, paying homage to Alasdair Gillis from the Canadian TV show You Can't Do That on Television. Upon being submitted a short demo tape, Drive-Thru Records decided to put out their debut release: a 7-inch vinyl record containing four songs, titled You Can't Do that on Vinyl (1998). Before the end of the year, Allister added another guitarist to the band, so Mueller took over guitar duties while Scott Murphy joined on bass.

it's late at night
and all i can think about
is how i went to work
and just sat around
and wasted my whole day
time goes by
and soon we forget about
the way we looked
the dumb things that mattered
as our lives just slipped away
i mope around
like there's nothing to do
another day
and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away
it's late at night
and all i can think about
is how i went to work
and just sat around
and wasted my whole day
time goes by
and soon we forget about
the way we looked
the dumb things that mattered
as our lives just slipped away
i mope around
like there's nothing to do

and i'm looking for something new
i can't understand why i'm feeling this way
memories come but they just fade away
